  • Saint Joe: “Showgirls” Writer Finds Jesus

    In a twist that’s just about as predictable as anything out of his screenplays, former master of glossy cinematic sleaze Joe Eszterhas has undergone a spiritual conversion. You remember Joe from the rollicking ’90s, when he penned such odes to depravity as Basic Instinct, Sliver, Jade and of course, the legendary Showgirls. But time marched on without ol’ Joe, who saw his anomalous coming-of-age tale Telling Lies in America and his off-target Hollywood satire An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn turn into limp box office flops. His oft-threatened magnum opus Sacred Cows, a political fable about a presidential hopeful getting caught fucking a cow, somehow failed to materialize.

  • Video of the Day: When Woody Met Billy

    We've been picking on Woody Allen a lot lately -- and with good cause -- so we thought that for our Video of the Day, we'd give the poor guy a break and take you back to the golden days of the 1960s, when he was actually funny.  Here's a real treat:  on a talk show (in front of a live audience, no less!), Woody interviews evangelical legend Billy Graham.   What's astonishing isn't how good the Wood-Man is, getting off hilarious on-the-spot lines (asked what his greatest sin was, he confesses "I had impure thoughts about Art Linkletter"); after all, this was his heyday.  What's really surprising is how good Graham is -- he never strays from his righteous path, but he manages to give as good as he gets, joshing around with Woody and even knocking off a zinger:  when Woody says that as soon as he's rich enough, he'll have his parents put in a home, Graham slyly responds, "Good!  I hope it's in a home with you."
